Muy Magnifico Señor

No quisiera que Vuestra Señoria fuera el primero que comencara por mucho aunque lo pudiera aver hecho muy bien sin perjuyzio de mi honrra por averse co<n>fichado de alla mensajero primero que de aca. Mas tanbien digo que no querria ganar tanta honrra que me dexase de escrivir porque seria muy mayor el deseo de saber de su muy magnifica persona y la perdida del rregozijo de sus cartas y el dolor de pensar que ya no se acuerda de sus seruvidores. Mas si amor est doctor amoris, yo estoy desto satisfecho.

Y sea mas largo que yo escrivo a lo menos agora porque quando este donde aya que escrivir yo lo hare y tanto que antes de trabajo que no me rreprehenda de acto y de alla sienpre avra que escrivir. Quando me escriviere venga dirigido a miçer Hieronymus Sailer (Hieronymus Seiler) (*1495 – †1559), in 1524 agent of the Welsers' company in Spain, and later, from 1528, in Venezuela.
